The Inscrutable Nicholas Blair
« on: August 22, 2008, 03:09:23 PM »
Dear Fans,

Am I the only one who's Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered by the quote ascribed to Nicholas on today's snapshot?  I thought I knew the 1968 storyline like the back of my hand, but I have total amnesia around this!

Anyone feel like helping out?

I do love and adore Nicholas, especially the 1968 Nicholas--my absolute favorite Humbert Allen Astredo performance, and one of my top favorite characters on the series!  His scenes with Julia rate as among the series' finest moments in my book.

Gothick,

You'd love the really cool T-shirt made for the recent Fest by the fan who posts here as Evan Hanley.  It's a tribute to HAA, and the back says, "Let the Legions of the Damned Salute You."  I wish I'd taken a picture!  (I bet THAT quote raised some conservative eyebrows back then.)

Anyway, the calendar quote follows [spoiler]an uncomfortable confrontation at the Blue Whale between Joe, who is summoned from the date to be Angelique, and Maggie, who has recently visited Tom in the hospital.  Nicholas shows up to take advantage of Maggie's frustration:[/spoiler]
Quote from: ROBINV on July 15, 2002, 08:28:51 PM
... Maggie is smiling broadly as she watches Nicholas pull his handkerchief off another tall drink. She protests she shouldn't, she doesn't drink that much. He says this evening they should do everything they don't normally do, break all the rules! If she hates to swim after dark, they'll swim. If she's always home till midnight, they'll stay out until dawn. The camera focuses on his eyes as he tells her he's trying to take advantage of her, and she says she doesn't believe him. ...

His shameless flirting leads to a dinner invitation, which she accepts.

Oh wow!  I haven't watched that episode in donkey's ears!  I must, must, MUST (!) revisit!

That t-shirt sounds to die for!  I always loved that line...

Thanks for posting the quote and photos from Robservations!

I am with you Gothick.  Nicholas was wickedly delicious.  :)  And I LOVED his scenes with JULIA as she stood her ground and didn't care if worked the Devil.

I'm not 100% certain that Nicholas Blair never got scruted.

I have looked on Dictionary.com and nothing is coming up for scruted.  So I really have no idea what you are saying.  [ghost_nowink]

There's no such word as scrute. Lydia's just being funny by playing off the word inscrutable and changing the adjective scrutable into the nonexistent verb scrute purely for the joke.  [ghost_wink]

Well I'm glad somebody knows what I'm doing, because it's often a mystery to me.

I very nearly said something along these lines.

Yes thanks for the pics and the explanation.  I guess I am slow.  [ghost_embarrassed] That shirt is HOT and the  man is hottie too! No offense to him if he posts here. Off Topic:  I for one have never understood  why anyone would mind a compliment regardless of which sex did the complimenting, now matter which way one swings.
